To The Last Drop is a novel about a war over water fought between Texas and New Mexico. It is set in the present, ripped from today’s headlines in a bitterly conflicted region where water is life.
"Whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting over." --Mark Twain.
In the story, Texas invades and occupies New Mexico. A resistance to the occupation is born and the insurgency rages in the cities, the villages and moutainous desert of "New Texas." Narrated by a tragic-comic cast from all sides of the conflict, To The Last Drop is of immediate interest on a crowded planet where fresh water is drying up.
“The next war will be over water, not politics.”
Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former Secretary General of the United Nations.
This novel was written by Andrew Wice, who has written five other novels. Please visit Andrew Wice.
My credentials are based upon the nine months of research I conducted before writing this book. The manuscript has been reviewed and corrected by a number of expert readers: a professor of law at Drew University, a water resource specialist at the NM Office of the State Engineer, a curator at the National Zoological Park, a Major in the U.S. Army (Special Forces) who completed three tours in Afghanistan.
I expect the audience for this provocative and entertaining novel to be those concerned with the history and development of the American Southwest, those concerned with the relationship between U.S. foreign policy and terrorism, and everyone who has ever drank a glass of water.
This novel has been accepted for publication by the BAUU press and will be available for purchase on April 21 of 2008.
Who I'd like to meet: Agents, film producers and interested readers.
I think it's a way for the church to patent religious rituals and charge for them by declaring they have monetary worth and are proprietary 'technology', thus narrowing the definitions of how Scientology can be practiced.
